I noticed that this item had two reviews by the same individual so I figured I'd give one of my own...

This DVD is not that bad... ok so the guy in the cloak is a bit idiototic, but the material is first class. If you want to know what makes a particular group of notes a scale and why you can't go wrong with Adam. The DVD shows everything on a keyboard to help aid in visulizing the note relationship and then is shown on the guitar.

This DVD is a wonderful compliment to the book (it is not a replacement for it - you must have the book) and helped to explain the material very well.
I have the old VHS videos and the DVDs are not the same footage transfered over to DVD. I am please about this as Kadmon has distilled the information into much smaller segments (the DVDs run about an hour while the tapes ran 2 hours) without all of the repetition.
An excellent accessory for the books!

if you cant afford professional lessons, or even if you can, the grimoire series is top notch. the DVD versions make the text versions easier to use. that being said i would make sure i had the books before the the dvds. the dvds are great but they really are supplements to the books not the other way around. in the videos the books are refernced frequently giving page numbers and examples. a must have if you already own the books.

I actually thought I might learn some stuff from this DVD judging from the title. But when I played it at home, I could not get past how the maker of the DVD portrays himself as evil incarnate complete with fires and hoods and the like. Look up the word "grimoire" and see if you want to be associated with the likes of that. I for one am not looking for any way to dishonor God by watching this DVD. It's a shame because this might have been a great DVD if they would only clean up the presentation of it. I will shred this DVD and search Amazon for a more respectable presentation.
In Summary: if you have no problem with watching evil darkside videos, you will probably be okay with this. If you are a Christian or someone who does not want to dishonor God, find another DVD.

This DVD might have had good promise if only they had not presented it as though the devil or one of his cohorts were teaching guitar. I honestly could not watch the DVD because of the evil portrayal of the instruction.
If you are into demonic stuff and don't mind assocating with evil things, you might like this DVD. If however you are a Christian and want to not dishonor God, look elsewhere for a DVD. I have shredded my copy I received today and I will search for something more palatable.
